Define traditional. I think Intel has to follow AMD's many CCX per CPU approach, especially after Intel hired Jim Keller who ran the Zen program at AMD. If they have started the many CCX program before hiring Jim Keller I would have hope it could come out in 2019, otherwise I think it would be 2020 at the earliest. Thus the "traditional Intel processors" will likely have time to launch on 10mn before then. 10mn must be ready at some time right?

> I think Intel has to follow AMD's many CCX per CPU approach, especially after Intel hired Jim Keller who ran the Zen program at AMD. AMD's approach as a lot of downsides, I think AMD only went that way due to yield issues and trying to cut down on the number of designs they are fabing for cost cutting.

Intel is working on chiplets connected by EMIB, but it's not clear whether they would be cheaper than a monolithic die. Intel's ring and mesh interconnects with shared L3 cache have far better performance than AMD's CCX+crossbar arrangement so there's no reason for them to go backwards.
